a GREAT TUNNEL.
Plans Adopted for Tunneling the Rocky
Mountains Under Trays Peak.

Plans Adopted for Tunneling the Rocky
Mountains Under Trays Peak.
One of the most prodigious engineer
ing projects now on the tapis is that for
tunneling the Rocky mountains under
Trays Peak, which rises no less than
IA, AL feet above the level of the sea.
1t is stated that at 4, AL feet below the
peak, by tunneling from east to west
for $4,000 feet direct, communication
could be opened between the valleys on
the Atlantic slope and those on the Pa
cific side. This would shorten the dis
tance between Denver in Colorado and
Salt Lake City in Utah, and conse-
quently the distance between the Mis-
souri, river, say at st. Louis. and San
Francisco, nearly three hundred miles,
and there would be little more required
in the way of ascending or descending
mountains. Part of the work has al
ready been accomplished. The coun-
try from the Missouri to the foot of the
Rockies rises gradually in rolling prai-
rie until an elevation is reached of 5,20O
feet above the sea level. The Rockies
themselves rise at various places to a
height exceeding 1000 feet. OF the
twenty most famous passes, only seven
are below 10,050 feet, while five are up
ward of $4,000 and one is 13, 200 feet.
The point from which it is proposed to
tunnel is sixty miles due west from
Denver. and, although one of the high
est peaks, it is by far the narrowest in
the great backbone of the American
continent ~ ]. Sun.

CoNsu,rpr1ov. Wasting Diseases.

CONSUMPTION, Wasting Diseases, and
General Debility. Doctors disagree as to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and
Hypophosphites the one supplying strength
and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and
acting as tonic to the digestive and entire
system. But in Scott's Emulsion Of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are
combined, and the effect is wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations have been
cured by this. Scott's Emulsion is perfect
ly palatable and is easily digested by those
who can not tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil.

Out OF our lives they go,
The sweet, sweet things we love;
We try to hold them, though,
The sweet, sweet things we love.
Out OF our lives they go,
Leaving darkness and pain,
Out OF our lives they go
We cry and hold in vain.
Out Of our lives, o God!
Thou knowest what it means!
More than the soft green sod.

Into our lives, again,
Will come the things we Iove,
Though naught doth whisper when,
These dear, sweet things we love.
Again into our lives,
Shining with holier light,
When Gods own time arrives
They'll come more fair and bright
Shining with holier light,
Touched by the hand divine,
No more to leave our sight,
Your dearly loved, and mine.

4. r. Stevens, who came to this Sec
ton from Oregon several years ago and
settled on a section of school land near
the fair grounds, died suddenly at his
residence at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
A stroke of paralysis was the cause of
his demise. He was about SIS years old,
and leaves a wife and two children.
Stevens was a very p~rofane man, but
had many redeeming qualities, being gen.
erous, a dutiful husband and loving father
and extremely courageous.
He settled in Oregon twenty-five years
ago, and became a wealthy horse raiser,
but through encouragement and adver e
circumstances was reduced to poverty. 1t
is said that upon one occasion providing
Indians stole a band of thirty horses from
Stevens ranges. He followed them,
boldly entered the camp of the redskins,
and, placing a revolver at the breast of
the chief, demanded the return of the
stolen property. The superstitious red
skins were d~umbtounded at the eIhibi-
ton of recklessness, and assisted Stevens
in driving the horses to his ranch.

Gov. Moonlight Appoints a New In

Governor Moonlight yesterday appoint
ed G G. Epperson, Evanston, territorial
inspector of coal mines, vice Hon. P. j.
Quealy, resigned. The gentlemen re
ceived his commission from Secretary
Shannon in the afternoon and departed
for his home last evening. At the depot
a LEADER representative interviewed the
new official, who is an intelligent and
geDtlemauly appearing parsonage appar-
emily nearing life's meridian.
Mr.. Epperson has had nineteen years
experience in coal mining. He is a min
ing engineer and said to be thoroughly
competent to perform the duties of the
Office to which he has been appointed.
He was formerly superintendent of large
mines in Missouri, hut has lived in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming for several years. The
gentleman is endorsed by the leading citi-
zens of Evanston where he has resided
for the past three years. Mr.. Epperson's
family consists of a wife and one son.
The latter is employed as ~bookkeeper for
Beckwith, Quinn 4 Co.
OF the nine aspirants for the place,
Mr.. Epperson was the only one who could
legally accept the appointment. Govern
or Moonlight has written a letter to each
of the disappointed candidates specifying
wherein they were disqualified. One is
still a member of tie legislature which
passed the bill creating the office. An
other is an employe of a coal company,
while a third is a non. resident, and his
excellency interprets the law to recon-
mend the appointment of a citizen. Fol
lowing is a list OF the unsuccessful appli-
cants for the office:

BY HIS OWN HAND.
A Prominent Citizen of Laramie
Suicides Yesterday.
VIM. Bachmann, of the Trabing
Commercial Co., the Man.
The Body Found Lying in the
Laramie River.

Special Dispatch to THE LEApE
LARAMIE, Sept. 29.-About 3 o'clock
to-day three boys were playing on a raft
near the old tie plant when they discov-
cred the body ola man lying half sub
merged in the water near the river bank.
They were too badly frightened to investi
gate the matter, and fastening TO the
city, notified the police.
Marshal Erisman at once proceeded to
the river, and discovered the find to be
that of the body of a man lying face
down. He turned the corpse over, and
was surprised and Mortified to observe the
features of VIM. Bachmann, of the Trab-
ing Commercial company. A bullet hole in
the left temple and a revolver with one
emptied chamber lying on the bank told
the story.
The body was at once brought to the
city and taken in charge by Coroner Boise,
who will hold an inquest tomorrow.
Mr.. Bachmann has resided in Laramie
for several years, during which time he
has acted as secretary for the Trabing
Commercial company, in which concern
he was interested.
The gentleman was happily married
about six months ago to Mrs. Aug. Trab-
ing's sister.
MIR. Bachman had been in bad health
for some time and complained a great
during the past few days. He has been
under the care of a physician lately.
Deceased came to the office quite carly
this morning, but remained only a few
minutes, and was not seen again during
the day. At l o'clock he was observed
walking toward the river, and it is sup
posed that he did not commit the rash
deed which terminated his existence until
two hours later, as a shot was heard about
that time. The popular supposition is
that he stood upon a pile of ties and shot
himself, afterwards falling into the river.
The funeral will probably take place
Sunday.
Bachmann was q genial, whole souled
gentleman who always had a kind word
for everyone. He was Justly one of the
most popular men in Laramie. SO far as
is known his domestic relations were the
ple~asantest possible and the only reason
sscribed for the suicide is insanity.

Frank De Castro, of That Burg. In
Jail.

Deputy Sheriff Smalley arrived from
the North last evening. having in custo-
dy Frank De Castro, whom he arrested at
Lusk. The prisoner is charged with an
assault with intent to kill. His alleged
prospective victim was one Schwartz. The
disturbance occurred at a dance given in
Lusk some four weeks ago.
1t appears that De Castro requested
n of his sisters, who accompanied
Schwartz to the party, to return home.
Acting upon the advice of her escort the
girl refused, but was finally persuaded to
retire.
The brother and Schwartz then in.
dulged in a dispute. which eliminated in
the drawing Of a revolver by DeCastro,
who snapped the weapon at Schwartz
head. Fortunately a friend of the young
mans had removed the cartridges from
the irearm, anticipating trouble, and thus
blooashed was averted. DeCastro is of
very slight figure, and it is said was war
ranted in his action. as Schwartz had
both struck and choked him.
According to the statement made by a
prominent Lusk gentleman some time
. nee, DeCastro was arraigned before
Judge Martin the day following the &C.
currence, and fined 1926 for creating a dis.
turbance.

Just why The United States Peniten-

The boomerang snorts and raves and

adding the wing to the United States
penitentiary at Laramie. At its last ses-
sion congress appropriated S25, 900 for the
purpose mentioned. That sum is still
available and will probably be expended
in repairing and re~constructing the rock
cry on the Laramie river in due time.
Governor Moonlight, Secretary Shan
non and Marshal Carr were appointed
to supervise the proposed alterations.
Under date of June 20 they submitted
" sets of plans to the secretary of the
interior, a majority recommending the
use of those furnished by Jas. Julien, of
this city, while the minority favored the
draughtings of one e'Hemecourt, a
Laramie architect.
The committee and everyone else is
now awaiting the action of the interior
department. In its communication to
the secretary the board requested and
urged that the matter be disposed of i'm
mediately, explaining hat the building
was in an unsafe condition.
